2/1/26: I Made an App So I’d Actually Share My Blog

ByMaestro

In this episode I demo my third personal web app: an OG card generator that turns a blog post URL into a shareable social card with the featured image and title. I talk through why I built it instead of using Canva, demo it generating cards in real time, and then hop into Cursor to walk through the Next.js setup, the redirect issue on Vercel, and how build #3 feels less fragile to me. I also get into how I’m taking notes as I learn, switching to SSH auth for GitHub, and my cautious take on the current ClawdBot and agent frenzy.
